Jeez, what a weird noise
I wonder what that light...
Holy shit! Did you see that?
Goddamned mushroom cloud is what that is
Fuck. That's getting big. That means...
Eeeeep.
Don't panic
Come on
Be... not to be...
A bang or w whimper...

*GULP*

Oh boy.

Two players
Two cues
six pockets
Fifteen balls.
One table.

English as punctuated.

A blank stare

I'm supposed to say something. Right.

I fiddle with my tie

I'm not wearing a tie

Doesn't matter

OK. That seemed to go over pretty well. Say something else.

wringing my hands
kinda sweaty
where did I put that
oh there it is             hankerchief

Applause is loud up here. I don't get how people say they enjoy it.
Keep talking.

gesture with the words
releasing the breeze

Bows and adders, snakes and ladders
arguments abound

Sickle sick'll, bowled to bowl
we just plain weren't around

Measuring immeasurable
Where we lost the rhyme

Effort in connection is the thing
to call sublime

Self as modified is something
we should not forget

Striking profit mirrors show
Is what time's long lens gets

Mass multiplied, so get the hint
and do the same for you

Whole cycle is potential if you'd
care to see it through

Questing for this Holy Grail result
is how we win

Redirecting sacrifice is how
we give our spin

Transience is what we are
just bouncing rays of light

Choose to cross the lines you see
But don't dive in to night

Unite first and divide from reason
Zzz's

Take.
Shit.
Philosophically.
